Description

Rainforests are the lungs of our planet - regulators of the earth's temperature and weather. They are also home to 50 per cent of the world's animals and plants - which for centuries have been the source of many of our key medicines. And yet we've all heard of their systematic destruction; the raising of trees to make way for plantations of oil palms or cattle, the disenfranchisement of indigenous peoples, and the corruption that leads to illegal logging and pollution. But this is the full story you've never heard: an in depth, wide-ranging, first-hand narrative that not only looks at the state of the world's tropical rainforests today and the implications arising from their continuing decline, but also at what is being done, and can be done in future, to protect the forests and the 1.6 billion people that depend upon them. It is inspirational, too, in its descriptions of the rainforest's remarkable birds and plants ... and its indigenous people. Rainforest is a personal story, drawing on the author's many years' experience at the frontline of the fight to save the rainforests, explaining the science and history of the campaigns, and what it has felt like to be there, amid the conflicts and dilemmas.

Media Reviews

A spirited book ... revealing just how fascinating rainforests can be ... Juniper's sheer wonderment at the world's rainforests is ever bit as compelling as his environmental passion. -- Jon Wright * Geographical *
Praise for Tony Juniper: 'He is by popular consent the most effective of Britain's eco-warriors * Independent *
People take action when they are inspired. And this is exactly what Tony's book does. It is an incredible, first-hand account of one of the most important environment battles of our time, one that we simply cannot afford to lose. Because a fight for the rainforests is a fight for planet earth. And for the peoples of the world. -- Eric Solheim, Head of the United Nations Environment Programme
